6. PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

6.1 The curriculum of every programme will have courses that are categorized as follows :

a) Basic Science Courses (BS)

b) Basic Engineering Courses (BE)

c) Humanities & Management Courses (HM)

d) Programme Core Courses (PC)

e) Programme Electives Courses (PE)

f) General Elective Courses (Inter-disciplinary) (GE)

g) Professional Development Courses (PD)

h) Mandatory Certificate Courses (MC)

6.2 Highlights of the Curriculum:

The medium of instruction is English.

i) Curriculum for First Year: The curriculum in the first year shall have six theory courses

and three laboratory courses in the first and second semesters and shall be common for


all the B.Tech. programmes. Although, all the B.Tech. programmes have a common

curriculum in the first year, some of the courses offered in the first semester to one

group of branches are offered in the second semester to the other group and vice versa.

This arrangement is essentially to share the laboratory resources among a larger

number of students in the first year and to balance the faculty work load between odd

and even semesters. Thus, in the first year, the eight B.Tech. programmes offered in

PEC are divided into two Groups, Group-I and Group-II. Civil Engineering, Mechanical

Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, and Information Technology branches

are placed in Group-I and the Group II comprises of the remaining four branches namely

Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering,

Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, and Chemical Engineering.

ii) Curriculum for Higher Semesters: The curriculum from Third Semester through Seventh

semester, in general, constitutes five theory courses and three laboratory courses.

Eighth Semester would have three theory courses (Elective Courses), one Project Work

and a Comprehensive test cum Viva-Voce. In addition to the above, the curriculum

would include one course on Soft skill Development in sixth semester, one course on

Professional Ethics and Practice in seventh semester, Professional Development Courses

and Mandatory Certificate Courses. Curriculum of certain disciplines may have subjects

that have both theory and practice components. These courses are grouped into two

categories namely ‘Practice Oriented Design Courses’ and ‘Theory Combined with

Practice Courses’ depending upon the weightage given to the theory component and

the practice component of each course. The curriculum shall have both Core courses

(compulsory courses) and Elective courses. Elective courses are offered from fourth

semester through eighth semester. Two types of elective courses are offered namely

Programme Electives (offered by the parent department) and General Electives (offered

by departments other than the parent department).

6.3 Credits:

i) Each course is assigned credits as detailed below:

a) 4 credits for all theory courses

b) 2 credits for Laboratory (denoted as LB) courses

c) 4 credits for Practice Oriented Design (denoted as POD) courses

d) 4 credits for Theory Combined with Practical (denoted as TCP) courses

e) 8 credits for Project work

f) 1 credit for Comprehensive test cum viva-voce

g) 1 credit for Professional ethics and practice


h) 1 credit for Soft skill development

i) 1 credit for Professional Development Courses

j) 0 credits for Mandatory Certificate Courses

ii) Total number of credits of all the courses in the curriculum of any programme shall be

between 214 and 220.

iii) The number of periods per week shall be four for theory subjects (both core and

elective) and three for laboratory courses.

6.4 Practice Oriented Design Courses: Some design oriented courses may have both theory

and practice components. Such courses are termed as Practice Oriented Design (POD)

courses and shall have two periods of theory and three periods of practice per week.

6.5 Theory Combined with Practical Courses: Some courses may have a major theory part

combined with a minor practice part. These courses are called Theory Combined with

Practical (TCP) courses. These courses will have three periods of theory and two periods of

practice per week.

6.6 Elective Courses:

i) Programme Elective: Programme Electives are the elective courses offered by the

parent department. An elective is offered only if fifteen or more number of students

register for the course. Maximum number of students that can register for an elective is

limited to seventy five. However, depending upon the demand for a course and the

resource availability, The Dean (Academics), in consultation with the concerned HoD,

can fix the maximum number of students that can be allowed to register for an elective

course.

ii) General Elective: The Interdisciplinary elective courses are called General Electives.

Under this scheme, a student from a particular branch of study shall register for general

elective courses offered only by departments other than the parent department.

Academic Courses Committee (vide Regulation 21.4) shall prepare a list of General

electives offered by various departments in a semester. These courses shall not have

any prerequisites. A student can register for only one general elective course per

semester, from fourth to eighth semesters and has to earn a minimum of eight credits

during the entire course. A student cannot do more than five general electives in the

entire course. Based on the necessity, a department may offer some of the core

subjects/Programme Electives of their department as general electives with the

approval of Dean (Academics).


iii) Curriculum of all the B.Tech. programmes shall have three elective courses and a

project work in the eighth semester. A student can opt for completion of the three

elective courses (shown in the eighth semester curriculum) before the eighth semester

itself by registering one additional elective course each from fourth to seventh

semesters. This option enables the student to spend extra time for the project work in

the industry/research organization/higher learning institutions. A student shall be

permitted to register for such additional electives only if he does not have any arrear on

the date of registration of courses for the concerned semester and should have a CGPA

of 7.5 and above till the previous semester.

iv) A student in the eighth semester is given the option of choosing one or more elective

courses from the list of electives offered in the second semester M.Tech. curriculum, in

partial or total fulfillment of the three elective courses required to be taken in the

eighth semester. However, this provision of opting for an M.Tech. elective course in the

eighth semester is restricted to only those students who do not have any arrear when

they register for eighth semester courses.

v) A student who has failed to secure a pass grade in an elective course may reappear for

the examination in the following semester or drop the elective course and subsequently

register for another elective course in the following semester in place of the dropped

elective course.

vi) Auditing of Elective Courses: Students, by auditing a course, are permitted to attend

classes but are not required to take examinations and earn credits. Auditing is

permitted only for elective courses (Programme or General electives) offered in sixth,

seventh and eighth semesters. Only students having a CGPA of 8.5 and above are

allowed to audit courses. A student will be permitted to audit a course only on

submission of a ‘Letter of Purpose’ to Dean (Academics) justifying the need for

attending the course and this letter shall be duly forwarded with a recommendation by

the Faculty Advisor through the Head of the Department. The student is required to

maintain an attendance of 90% and above in the audited course. The attendance

earned by a student in an audited course is accounted for in the calculation of overall

attendance in a semester. The courses successfully audited by a student in a particular

semester will appear with a Letter Grade ‘X’ in the Grade Card (vide Regulation 9.3).


6.7 Professional Development Courses :

i) Students shall earn a minimum of three credits under Professional Development Course

category through some specific co-curricular activities that will help the student gain

mileage in his professional career. Each of these activities carries one credit. Students

should necessarily fulfill the requirement of one credit courses before the end of

Seventh Semester. The grades obtained in these three one-credit courses will be

included in the eighth semester grade sheet. A representative list of Professional

Development Courses is given below. However this list may be modified as and when

required by the Academic Courses Committee.

a) Industrial Training (Limited to a maximum of one credit)

b) Specific Field Knowledge Training - Lecture/Practice of 15 periods duration

conducted by expert faculty from industry/higher learning institutions/R&D

establishments/in-house faculty from the college (No limit on maximum

number of credits)

recognized agency duly approved by the college (No limit on maximum number

of credits)

ii) Industrial Training: Industrial Training is considered for one credit only if a student

undergoes training in an industry for a minimum period of thirty days (or four weeks)

during the vacation. After completion of the training, the student is required to submit

a training report and certificate to the Head of the Department.

iii) Specific Field Knowledge Training: Students can opt for Specific Field Knowledge

Training of 15 periods duration under Professional Development Courses approved by

the Academic Courses Committee. Specific Field Knowledge Training is generally offered

by experts from industry/research organizations/higher learning institutions. However

departments can also offer this training in some specialized topics. A student is also

permitted to register for training offered by other departments, provided the student

fulfills the necessary pre-requisites.

iv) If a student who has registered for a Professional Development Course fails to complete

it successfully, it will be automatically treated as withdrawn. The student can re-register

for the same course and successfully complete it as and when it is offered or may

register for some other course and complete the requirement.


v) Four successfully completed Professional Development Courses may be treated as

equivalent to one General elective subject. This option can be exercised (before the

registration of eighth semester courses) by a student who wishes to seek exemption of

one general elective course by earning four extra credits through four additional

Professional Development Courses.

6.8 Mandatory Certificate Courses: A student shall compulsorily undergo any three of the

activities designated as Mandatory Certificate Courses listed below for completion of the

programme. There is no assessment for these courses, however successful completion of

these courses is mandatory and is to be substantiated by producing completion certificate

Continuous Assessment marks put together).

(b) If a student fails to clear the semester examination in a subject after three consecutive

attempts, the passing criteria from the fourth attempt onwards will be based on the marks


earned by the student in the end semester examination only. The student is deemed to

have passed the subject if the mark scored in the end semester examination is 50% and

above and he will be awarded only E grade irrespective of the mark scored.

8.2 Result Passing Board: The Dean (Examinations) shall constitute a Result Passing Board for

each branch of study. The Result Passing Board shall meet soon after the valuation of

Semester examination answer scripts to analyze the relative performance of students and

award appropriate grace marks, if necessary, for overall improvement in the result. On

finalization of the results by Result Passing Board, the Dean (Examinations) shall declare

the results.

8.3 Photocopy of the Answer Script and Revaluation:

i) After declaration of results,

a) Photocopy of valued answer scripts with the marks awarded to individual answers

shall be made available to the students on submission of an application along with

the prescribed fees to Dean (Examinations).

b) Students can get their answer scripts revalued by submitting an application along

with the prescribed fees to the Dean (Examinations).

ii) The provision for getting the photocopy of valued answer scripts and revaluation is

extended to all the students including those who have passed the examination.

iii) The Dean (Examinations) shall get the answer script revalued by appointing an examiner

other than the one who has valued the script earlier and revise the grade accordingly.

iv) The marks obtained after revaluation will be taken as final irrespective of the marks

awarded earlier. That is, if the marks obtained after revaluation happens to be lower

than the original marks then ‘the lower mark’ will be considered for the award of

revised grade.

8.4 Grade Card: On declaration of results, Grade Cards will be issued to the students. The

Grade Card will contain the list of courses for that semester, the grades obtained by the

student, the GPA and the CGPA.

9. AWARD OF GRADES

The performance of students in a course is expressed in terms of Letter Grades, each carrying

certain Grade Points. A total of Six passing Grades namely S, A, B, C, D and E is awarded. Total

marks (sum of Continuous Assessment and Semester Examination marks) in percentage (%)

secured by a student in a subject is used for computing his Grade by fitting the percentage mark

into the Range of Marks assigned for each Grade. The Range of Marks for each one of the six

Grades is calculated by taking the difference (DM = M – 50) between the highest mark (M) and


the minimum pass mark (50) and dividing this difference DM into 6 equal intervals. This Interval,

defined as K = DM/6, should not be rounded off to less than two decimal places. Calculation of

Range of Marks for the six Grades is as shown in the Table below. The Range of Marks (M-K),

(M-2K), (M-3K) etc., shall be rounded off to the nearest whole number. The Range of Marks

calculated for each one of the six grades shown in the Table below forms the Grading Scale for

fixing the Grades in the regular examination of a particular subject.

Table: Grading Scale

Range of Marks (%) Letter Grade Grade Points

M to (M-K)+1 S 10

9.1 The Grading Scale computed for a particular subject based on the highest mark scored in

a regular examination will be used as it is for the subsequent arrear and supplementary

examinations irrespective of the highest mark scored in these examinations and this

Grading Scale will remain effective until the next regular examination.

9.2 If and when a student opts for Revaluation of answer script in a particular subject, the

Grade will be awarded by fitting the revised mark obtained after revaluation into the

Grading Scale that was originally used for the award of Grades in the Regular

Examination, even if the revised mark happens to be higher than the highest mark scored

in the regular examination.


9.3 The other Letter Grades that shall be indicated in the Grade Card are as follows:

Criterion Letter Grade

Grade Point

Failed to Score Pass Mark in the Subject F 0

Partial Withdrawal from Semester Examination

W -

Audited the Course X -

Absent for the semester examination Z 0

‘F’ grade denotes failure in the course, 'W' grade indicates authorized partial withdrawal

(vide Regulation 14.2), ‘X’ Grade denotes that the student has audited the course and ‘Z’

grade denotes absent for the Semester Examination. A student who has secured ‘F’/‘W’/

‘Z’ grade shall reappear for the examination in the following semesters. A student who has

scored a pass grade cannot reappear for the examination.

9.4 A student securing ‘F’ grade in an elective course may reappear for the examination in the

following semester or drop the elective course and subsequently register for another

elective course in the following semester in place of the dropped elective course.

9.5 Grade Point Average (GPA) indicates the performance of a student in all the examinations

appeared by him in a particular semester. GPA score will appear in all the Semester

Examination Grade Cards. The Grade Point Average (GPA) for a particular semester is

calculated as the ratio of the sum of the products of the number of Credits of a course (Ci)

and the Grade Points scored in that course (GPi), taken for all the courses, to the sum of

the number of credits of all the courses (n) registered in that semester.

withdrawn.

9.6 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) indicates the performance of a student in all the

examinations appeared by him up to a particular semester excepting the first and second

semester (i.e., the performance in the first and second semester examinations is not

considered for CGPA calculations). CGPA score will appear in all the Semester Examination


Grade Cards starting from the third semester. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

up to a particular semester is calculated as follows:

proper planning of elective courses to be offered in a semester, it is essential for the

students to declare their intent to register for (or audit) an elective course well in advance,

before the actual start of the semester classes, through the process of Pre-Registration,

which is mandatory for all the students of third or higher semester. All the students

moving to fourth or higher semester are required to have completed the Mandatory Pre-

Registration of elective courses at least Three weeks before the last day of classes in the


current semester. A list of elective courses offered in the next higher semester will be

made available to the students One week before Pre-Registration. A student can choose

the elective courses in consultation with the concerned Faculty Adviser (vide Regulation

21.1).

10.5 The curriculum of any semester will have theory and practical courses prescribed for a

specified number of credits. Students shall register for all the prescribed number of credits

number of credits than that is prescribed for that semester. If a student, for some valid

reason, finds the theory subject load in a particular semester to be too heavy to handle,

he may register for a lesser number of credits by choosing one or two elective courses

lesser than what is prescribed for that semester. Similarly, a fast pace learner can register

for more number of credits than prescribed by choosing one additional elective course.

Only a student who has maintained consistently good academic record by not having any

arrear and by scoring a CGPA of 7.5 and above in the previous semesters is entitled to avail

the choice of registering for extra elective course in a semester.

shall also evolve a method for calculating the Equivalent Grades for the credit transferred

courses by taking into account the course evaluation system followed in the other

institution. The BoS shall issue a Credit Transfer Certificate mentioning in it the details of

Equivalent Courses, corresponding Credits and Equivalent Grades for the credit transferred

courses. The complete details will then be forwarded to the Dean (Academics), who in turn

will place it in the Academic Council for approval
